NANJING: New policies and measures have been drafted to attract more overseas professionals in the areas of finance and monetary to boost economy amidst global financial crises, said an official with the provincial government.

"Financial crisis is a serious challenge for the economic development, but we can turn it into a good thing if we can timely grab the opportunity to attract financial professionals badly needed in the province from overseas," said Guo Guangyin, deputy director of the provincial organization department.

It has been high on the agenda that every year Jiangsu, a developed and affluent eastern province, recruits high-level professionals from the large number of Chinese scholars and experts who study or work overseas.

Statistics show that over 10500 overseas Chinese have been recruited since 2003 to hold posts in government departments, universities, high-tech enterprises and other areas.

"They have injected great vitality into the economic development of the province and contributed a lot to upgrading the level of scientific research and new products," said Guo.

As the global financial crisis is sweeping across the world, more financial professionals are needed in the province, especially in the areas of banking, security and insurance.

A list of posts was announced at a recruitment news conference yesterday afternoon. Altogether 120 vacancies are offered, including IT supervisor, investment supervisor, chief technical officer, chief financial officer, and human resources manager in banks, insurance companies, security companies and universities.

They will receive an annual salary of from 100,000 to 1.5 million yuan according to the post and other benefits, such as starting project fund, housing allowances, etc.
